Cute

Hello friends! I'm back today with a new layout featuring the Alphabet Soup cut file. This is a picture of my youngest daughter on her first day of preschool. She was so excited and so ready to go. She had been wanting to wear that skirt for days and, finally, she got to.

The Cute Girl collection by Crate Paper has the perfect colors and embellishments to document this milestone. The striped paper that I backed up the cut file with makes this page bright and happy.

I raised the cut file with some foam dots to give it more dimension, and stitched the inside of the letters for added texture. A few ephemera pieces completed the layout.

This layout came together pretty quickly. Don't forget to check out The Cut Shoppe Etsy store for this cut file and many more amazing ones.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a great day!

 

Hi 7

Starting a new year, brings a whole new round of birthdays!  And I'm sure that we all have tons of past birthday photos, sitting around waiting to be scrapped!  So our new It's My Party cut file set, is perfect for your birthday layouts and projects!  Our middle daughter's birthday is December 26th, and she turned 7 this year.  I snapped some photos of her on her birthday day, and just had to use the It's My Party cut file on my layout today!

I wanted to use the "It's Your Day" cut file, so that inspired me to create a circle design on my layout.  I opened the It's My Party cut file in Silhouette Studio and traced the shape.  Then I placed it in the position I wanted it and then added 3 circles.  I moved the It's Your Day cut file to the side and cut the circles from White cardstock.  Next I backed the circles...one with my photo and two with patterned paper.  Then I adhered the It's Your Day cut file.  I also used the sketchy circle design from the Alphabet Soup background cut file.  I thought they would add a fun look around the smaller circles.  I finished my layout by adding embellishments, stitching, and a couple of other die cuts from the It's My Party cut file set.

 

And of course, the It's My Party cut file isn't the only new one you will find in the Shop today!  Stop by and check out the other new designs that are now available!

Schools Out For Summer

Hi gals, I am so very excited to be joining The Cut Shoppe team.
I hope I can inspire you through my take on cut files.  To be honest, I created a layout, then started all over again (ask my pals that had to hear me whine!)  I guess that is the best thing about cut files, they can be used over and over again instead of a one time use kinda thing!  Good thing for me!!  Today I am sharing a layout with a photo from the last day of school.  I don't know how I captured an un-blurry photo of a boy running to his dad with my iPhone, but I did!!

This layout has three different cut files!  The starburst is the patterned paper, cut with scissors along the provided path.  Nothing fancy, but sure does make it dramatic!

Here you can see one of the cut files tucked under my photo, Alphabet Soup.

This photo shows the other two files I used, Now I Know my ABC's and Game On!  

This is what the files look like before I manipulated them:o)

I hope that I have inspired you to use more than one cut file on a page and to mix and match!  See you again real soon!

Hi everyone, it's Danielle here with you today and I have a layout to share with 3 cut files from The Cut Shoppe store. It was the Alphabet Soup cut file that inspired me to make a bubbles layout and I used the circles from this cut file without the alpha. I also used the new I love you to infinity & beyond and Word Frame cut files on this layout.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

I instantly fell in love with the "Alphabet Soup" file when Ashley shared it with us in the DT. My cameo sang happily as I was cutting it out, and I LOVED working with it on the LO below.

I painted my cardstock with gelatos and water before adding the cut file. On the "b" and the "u" I used Heidi Swapp colour shine and water to make them stand out and make my title. I did the same on my "hey" speech bubble from "The Small Talk" cut file.

Thanks for checking in today, hope you found some inspiration!

School Days & New Cut Files!

It's that time again...time for new Cut File sets in The Cut Shoppe!  This week, there is a mix of cut files, but also a few that will get you ready for Back to School!  If you're still waiting to scrap last year's school photos or maybe school photos from several years ago, then these would be great for your pages!  

I used one of the new cut files, Alphabet Soup, on my layout for today.  We homeschool our kids, but I still like to take their photo every year, and had not gotten a chance to scrap last year's photo of the girls.  

I wanted the Alphabet Soup background cut file, to stand out on my layout, so I created two clusters, one with my photo and title and a smaller embellishment cluster with the year the photo was taken.  This design approach, allowed me to use the cut file, without covering a lot of it.  I used the School House collection from Chic Tags and some papers from the Heidi Swapp Serendipity collection.  Once the background was finished cutting, I backed some of the alphas with patterned paper and used some of the stickers from the Chic Tags School House sticker sheet to coordinate with the alpha, from the first word on each sticker!

You could find a lot of different ways to use this cut file on your back to school layouts or even your everyday pages!  Design Team member Annelie Maddock has another take on the cut file, coming to the Blog soon, with a totally different look to her page!

And don't forget to visit The Cut Shoppe today, to see what's new in the store!  Here's a look at some of the new files that are available!!
